The integration of natural science and spirituality is accomplished by putting consciousness into the equations of the quantized relativistic model of reality. This approach, with a quantum calculus based on the precise empirical data provided by the Large Hadron Collider, leads to the discovery of gimmel, the non-physical third form that must exist in addition to mass and energy, in order for there to be a stable universe.

SCIENCE, HISTORY AND POLITICS

I believe we are now standing at a very critical point in
the history of the human race. If we manage to survive the current hateful
violence fostered by ignorance and the lack of a unified metaphysical
understanding of Reality exacerbated by the politics of division; and if science
can drag itself out of the dead end of abject materialism, some degree of sanity
may eventually be restored to our world. These are admittedly very steep hills
to climb, but I am hopeful that we have it in us, and that eventually truth
will win out!

It would help if politicians and self-interest groups would
stop telling half-truths and outright lies about each other. Ironically,
although I don’t usually agree with racist groups, I found myself nodding in
agreement with the “Black Lives Matter” leader who said "I think that
this is an election potentially between a candidate that people are rightfully
really concerned about and a candidate that is evil." But I may
disagree with him about which is which. In fact, I think both of the current
candidates for President are of questionable character. We may have to decide
which represents the lesser evil.

Yes,
Black Lives Matter is a racist group, because it emphasizes the importance of the
lives of one group over others. All
lives are important and deserve our respect regardless of color or belief
system. We must stop returning hate for hate and respond to hate with love, but
it is not that simple! We must also show
a strong hand when necessary. The existence of people in the world today who happily
hate, kill and maim innocents in the name of political ideology is unacceptable.
And we can’t just ignore them, and we can’t just smile in our self-assigned
superiority and bless them, because by doing so, we epitomize what they hate,
and become the first people they want to kill.

Contrary
to what some would have you believe, wars have never been about religion, they
are always about political ideologies that misrepresent the teachings of great
spiritual and intellectual thinkers in order to seize control of the lives of
others.

History
demonstrates, time after time, that the ideologies that profess to serve the interests
of the downtrodden are the ideologies that bring the most death and
destruction. They are subtle and insidious because they gain political
dominance by professing compassion and concern for the greater good for all,
and then use the power granted them by the gullible and needy masses to destroy
all who disagree with them. Prime examples are the Holy Roman Empire, Nazi (Socialist)
Germany, Communist Russia, Communist China, and Radical Jihadist Islam.

Science
and education are the obvious remedies for the current widespread ignorance that
has come about as a result of the willful distortion of history for the purpose
of ideological dominance, and the destruction of individual peace and
prosperity. But mainstream science has become the handmaiden of government and
a type of intellectual atheistic elitism that seeks to replace traditional religious
belief systems as the religion/ideology of the future. But real science should
be about seeking truth, not defending belief systems. And yet this is what
mainstream scientists do when they are disdainful and dismissive of those who think
outside the box and try to bring science out of the dead end of atheistic materialism.

Political
ideologies, whether based on theist or atheist belief systems are very
dangerous, because they lead to the justification of the destruction of the lives
of those who disagree with them. Unfortunately, the human species as a whole
has not learned much from past experience because of the ideological
distortions of history by those who seek to keep the masses in ignorance in
order to maintain dominance and power over them. We are being hammered every
day with every type of political misinformation. So, is there no hope? How can
we know the truth when politicians, in order to win, have become such accomplished
and sophisticated liars?

You
do not have to accept the half-truths and lies being preached by the various politicians
and political interest groups. You can actually do some serious research and think
for yourself, but it will take some real effort to uncover the truth. It will
be hard work, but most importantly, you need to realize that if you take the
easy route, and choose to accept the propaganda of one of today’s vociferous political
groups over another without question and vote accordingly, you are part of the problem!

Well stated, Ed! All we can do, this lifetime, I feel, and against all odds, is to carry on trying to be a very much-needed part of the solution - I'm sure in my own mind, heart and soul that our efforts will not go amiss in the fundamental realm of cosmic consciousness, and I look forward to us being part of Homo Sapiens Cosmos in the future! Wishful thinking? I hope not, if my mystical-initiation of 1980 is to be believed - And believe it I do!
